In the stillness of midnight, Vasudev wades through the dark

In the stillness of midnight, Vasudev wades through the dark, flowing river, a serene determination on his face. Balancing a tokri, a woven basket, on his head, he carries the newborn Krishna, swathed in pristine white cloth that glows softly against the night's darkness. Above them, the divine serpent Adishesha stretches his many hoods, forming a shimmering, protective canopy that shields them from the rain and chill. The river's gentle ripples catch the faint moonlight, adding a tranquil sparkle to the scene, while the dense foliage on the riverbanks remains shrouded in shadow, creating a sense of sacred secrecy.
